“The worst moment from all of this was driving from that doctor’s office, to tell my wife that I was HIV positive.”

I started in business over 25 years ago and have found a way to build on what I’ve learned through every partnership and opportunity.

I’m from there. You know, when you grow up with these people and see them every day and then you look at the numbers… it was easy; it was a no-brainer. And when Sony took a look, it was a no-brainer to them, too.

Even when I went to the playground, I never picked the best players.

As an athlete, I understood the value of my health insurance. I knew that in my profession, injuries were common and could happen at any time.

Research your idea. See if there’s a demand. A lot of people have great ideas, but they don’t know if there’s a need for it.

I wouldn’t do the ‘Magic Hour’ again, but I would do TV again. The ‘Magic Hour’ is not me.

I enjoy being the messenger for God in terms of letting people know about HIV and AIDS.

When you are honest and open with young people, they let you in.

I only know how to play two ways: reckless and abandon.

Talent is never enough. With few exceptions the best players are the hardest workers.

Anything I would do, I would have to be me. That is how it would work.

I am a vegetable man anyway. And I also get a lot of rest. That’s the key I may be up early, but I’m in bed early too.

Everybody on a championship team doesn’t get publicity, but everyone can say he’s a champion.

I never think that there’s something I can’t do, whether it’s beating my opponent one on one or practicing another hour because something about my game is just not right.

I met wonderful people playing in the NBA. Whether it is the officials, the scorekeepers, all the people who work for the NBA, not just for the Lakers, but I’m talking about just for the league itself.

You don’t have to be Magic to be special. You’re already special, you’re you.

I later spent… five to eight months in hospitals in New Jersey, always on an involuntary basis, and always attempting a legal argument for release.

However I am still making the effort and it is conceivable that with the gap period of about 25 years of partially deluded thinking providing a sort of vacation my situation may be atypical.

I should hope I dress differently at 25 than I did when I graduated high school. I hope I never stop changing.

Love in all eight tones and all five semitones of the word’s full octave.

It will soon be 25 years from the date of publication of my first research work. That the scientific aspirations kindled by that early work did not suffer extinction has been due entirely to the opportunities provided for me by the great city of Calcutta.

I spent 35 years growing up in the U.S., and it had its ups and downs.

I’m a whopping 5 foot 4 inches tall. I’m not going to get any taller.

If the Indy Racing League didn’t have the Indianapolis 500, do you think it would have lasted more than six months? No chance.
